The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) proposing the award of a contract for the Enterprise Resource Planning solution.

Resolved:

That a new 3-year contract, which includes an option to extend for a further 12 months, for the Enterprise Resource planning solution, be approved.

Reasons for decision:

The reason for the decision is the significant cost avoidance on this contract. The current contract (minus the possible extensions) runs until 30th September 2024 and the new contract under G-Cloud 13 will need to be awarded by the end of August 24.

Other options:

Do nothing.  Whilst there is a compliant contract in place with an option to extend for a further 12 months from 1^st October 2024, it is considered that it does not make financial sense to utilise this option.

Note: This is an Executive Function
